Freestyle. Center is a pysanky design found in Zenon Elyjiw's Sixty Score of Easter Eggs: A Comprehensive Album of Ukrainian Easter Eggs. Love that book. Around the egg are my doodles, which turned out to look vaguely pea-pod-ish. This piece is completely covered with stitches and is roughly the size of the palm of my hand.
I was astounded by Bill Rankin's map of Chicago's racial and ethnic divides and wanted to see what other cities looked like mapped the same way. To match his map, Red is White, Blue is Black, Green is Asian, Orange is Hispanic, Gray is Other, and each dot is 25 people. Data from Census 2000. Base map © OpenStreetMap, CC-BY-SA
Today we had a meeting to talk about our vision for our research lab. In order to do so we were to visualize the current situation and / or our wish for the future. I did a combination of both. The vision part is in A possible future. My corresponding blog post where I talk a little bit about this visualization is Visions with Lego.
Our fantastic panel takes questions from attendees.

Try to visualize a beautiful woman. Give it some seconds serious consideration. I shall wait patiently as long...
Now the woman you picture in you head, not only has form and shape, she most likely even have mannerisms and perhaps are wearing clothes. If so we can even with wisdom assume that the clothes she is wearing is consistent with, and thus reflect, the person she is and here is my point. She is to the mental effect almost a person, as your imagination is a VERY powerfull tool. - Mind you not even the Tihane-2 (The Chinese supercomputer) would be able to create in memory what you just did in seconds. (Further more, the Tihane-2 would probably answer that beauty is subjective and continue in long explanations to explain the beauty of binary simplicity, but be quite indifferent as in regard to the beauty of women.)
In your head, from the quest was launched, you started drawing upon your feminine resources of data in your eyes putting together a pretty much ”perfect” women ;o) But make no mistake, in a way she is VERY real, as she is created only and alone from YOUR subconscious imaginative spectrum of what a ”beautiful women” consist of. Those perceptions are not only VERY real, to you it is the whole world and thus, the very definition of beauty.
If you are a crossdresser, transvestite or transexual, you know very well what powers are to be drawn from within that imaginative spectrum, but make no mistake. When ordinary macho heterosexual men watch Expendables 1 (Macho hetero classic - 5 stars from my male side, Lisa says ”No comment!” shaking her head) they very much identify them self, with being amongst such group of battle scarred veterans, knowing each others weaknesses and strengths, using them in unison, like a team, working like clockwork and on backbone alone beating odds no sane person would bet a single dime on.
Women as well have their own visual identification spectrum and I stand accused making following statement without statistic documentation, but I have notion practically all women at some time, have imagined them self walking into a crowded room drawing all attention, dazzling everyone with the mere presence of their radiant beauty. But again, I might be mistaken and women not only may, but trust me will rightfully claim ”What the hell do I REALLY know about women.” and it is in fact quite true.
Never the less there is still much to be obtained from within, the almost magical imaginative spectrum.
You see, something happens to macho heterosexual men, watching not ONLY Expendables 1, but every film made in modern times that has to do with war, fighting, death, violence and murder (several times). Slowly, we find, such identification change such individuals. The same thing happens to T-girls who spend much time in the imaginative female spectrum, they change slowly, becoming more like that in reality as well, changing slowly.
Thus watching many movies on war identifying with being a vengeful warmachine, might actually in a stressfull situation, combined with a life crisis, trigger the hidden imaginative being nurtured by such imagination, making that person pick up a riffle going into warmode showing the world a thing or two. Where as a T-girl in same stressfull life crisis, very well might say ”Fuck it all.” pick up a pair of stilettos and wearing a tight skirt ”showing” (though in a more practical sense) the world a thing or two as well.

I have so many connections on LinkedIn it became almost unusable and started becoming a repository of business contacts. This visualization, though mesmerizing to me at first and to others as well, is interesting though the groups are spread around time, location, profession and education.
The top and left is more related to my design expertise, the lower right is more my personal life.
Also the edges are filled with people I barely know. Then again in the center it is often the same.

Visualizing the various features of the SwiftRiver distributed reputation and veracity functionality.
Things like Time, Location, Activeness as well as Global and Local interaction, are all considered in scoring. Time (green) and Location (dark grey) are optional, for scenarios like a conflict or war. The content producer’s location, or proximity to ‘ground zero’ tells the system to factor this in to its score. Also the length of time that content is produced after the initial event may also tell us a lot. Things like ‘time’ and ‘location’ are optional because if your Swift instance is tracking something like a political scandal, time and proximity may not actually add any value to authority calculations.
Purple represents how active Users 1 and 2 are. In and of itself how much someone uses a Swift instance is irrelevants. It could mean that they are an eager member providing valuable assistance, or it could mean they are attempting a brute force attack on the system similar to the Figure 1 scenario. However, when coupled with other factors, frequency of interaction is considered and can positively or negatively weight the score for a user.
Hydrogen accounts for about 74 percent of the normal matter in the Universe. This visualization shows the electron clouds of hydrogen through the probability density function when the principal quantum number, N, is 1 and 2. The probability density illustrates where the electron is most likely to be found if measured, red indicates high probability, blue indicates low probability.
Update: 2020/06/22: A 16k version is now available.
Update: 2020/07/06: A visualization showing all electron orbitals for N=1 to 6 is also available on Youtube: youtu.be/HyRHT4yOvms
Created by Martin Wattenberg with Marek Walczak (who licenses it under this CC license), Thinking Machine 4 explores the invisible, elusive nature of thought. Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you.
The artwork is an artificial intelligence program, ready to play chess with the viewer. If the viewer confronts the program, the computer's thought process is sketched on screen as it plays. A map is created from the traces of literally thousands of possible futures as the program tries to decide its best move. Those traces become a key to the invisible lines of force in the game as well as a window into the spirit of a thinking machine.
This visualization shows the wave functions of hydrogen when the principal quantum number, N, is between 1 and 2. The wave function is the solution of the Schrödinger equation and describes the electron in its wave form. Yellow and red colors show positive, while blue and purple denote negative values. Its complex square is the probability density, which actually shows where the electron might be found in the atom when measured.

Here's a quick and dirty attempt to automatically determine arterial streets without any prior knowledge about the arterial status of a street. The idea is: a shortest path tree is taken for a bunch of random points, and the trunkyness of each branch was determined. The trunkynesses of the roads are summed, and this is the resulting map. It sort of works.

The Black Family Tree Tapestry
To create this meticulous visualization of the Black family tree, graphic designer Miraphora Mina turned to author J.K. Rowling for details about how each Black family member appeared as well as creative input. The final design was so successful that the Art Department actually redesigned the Grimmauld Place set where it hung, moving the tapestry from the hallway into an entirely new room to showcase it. Whilst the piece appears to look like a tapestry, the family tree was actually hand-painted onto canvas fabric.
People the world-over have been enchanted by the Harry Potter films for nearly a decade. The wonderful special effects and amazing creatures have made this iconic series beloved to both young and old - and now, for the first time, the doors are going to be opened for everyone at the studio where it first began. You'll have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and see many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides a unique showcase of the extraordinary British artistry, technology and talent that went into making the most successful film series of all time. Secrets will be revealed.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter films - the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.
- Explore Dumbledore’s office and discover never-before-seen treasures.
- Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivanders wand shop, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium.
- See iconic props from the films, including Harry’s Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid’s motorcycle.
- Learn how creatures were brought to life with green screen effects, animatronics and life-sized models.
- Rediscover other memorable sets from the film series, including the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s hut, Potion’s classroom and Professor Umbridge’s office at the Ministry of Magic.
Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.
The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
Money plays a central role to life in EVE. What does 200B ISK in damage actually look like? When I lose a Battleship, how much is that setting me back? How many Logistics ships could you buy instead of one Dreadnaught?

Edited Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data visualization/image of the Lunar North Pole.
Original caption: Permanently lit and permanently dark places at the lunar poles are ideal places for exploration and lunar resource development. Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs) are the only places on the Moon that may contain water ice. Water is essential for life support. It can also be split into hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket fuel using solar power generated in nearby lit regions. Before we begin planning lunar polar exploration traverses and ice-mining bases, however, we need good maps.
Two types of polar illumination maps are displayed here: percentage-based maps and time-weighted maps. The initial steps for making both map types are identical; first, 3548 LRO north pole images and 3807 south pole images were processed so that any pixels receiving illumination were set to one (white) and any pixels in shadow were set to zero (black). This created a set of binary images.
For the percentage-based illumination maps, the value of of each pixel was determined by stacking all the binary images and determining for what percentage of time that pixel was illuminated. Pixel stacks containing a high percentage of illuminated pixels indicated areas that were more often lit by the Sun than pixel stacks containing a high percentage of dark pixels.
The time-weighted illumination maps are more complicated. LROC Wide-Angle Camera (WAC) images used for making these maps were not taken during some orbits, resulting in unequal spacing of observations throughout the lunar year. To compensate for the missed observations, binary images acquired during periods when imaging was skipped during many orbits were more heavily weighted than those acquired when imaging occurred during many consecutive orbits. The weighted and non-weighted binary images were then stacked to calculate the percentage of time a pixel was illuminated.
Rovers and instruments that could explore these regions would normally rely on solar power and batteries for power. Even in places near the poles that receive some sunlight, it is necessary to understand how much sunlight they receive so that a rover does not accidentally become stuck in the dark long enough to run down its batteries. For more information on polar rover traverses, see Lunar Exploration: Planning the Next Steps.
